Yes, it is a rehash, but, it may be useful as a reference to someone trying to
convince their management to look at FreeBSD. To the typical IT manager, I think
ZDnet will have a little more weight than one of the Linux rags. 

Maybe it is time to start a new list, freebsd-news, with the sole purpose
publicizing references to FreeBSD instead of congesting the -advocacy list. I
think this would be a useful resource for many in marketing FreeBSD to their
management, staff, and customers.
